Scientific Notation

• 1.234 x 10^8
• 5.67 x 10^-4

8.24e-4 or 8.24 x 10^-4

87,400 in scientific notation can be expressed as 8.74 x 10^4 or 8.74E4

5.2683 x 10 to the power 4

3.1 x 10^1 m

It is: 1.64*10^1

Scientific notation shows things to the power of 10

So 35 in scientific notation is 3.5 x 10

Other examples are 350 is 3.5 x 102

5.66 x 10^-3 meters.

320,500 in Scientific Notation = 3.205 x 105

It is: 7.0*106

Scientific notation is a method of writing numbers with exponents, to avoid having to write all the zeroes which may be present either in very large numbers or very small numbers. For example, a trillion, which is 1,000,000,000,000 can be written as 1012 and 3 billionths, which is .000000003 can be written as 3 x 10-9.

0.00063 = 6.3 × 10-4

The coefficient is between 1 and 10

1,030,544,120 in scientific notation would normally be written as 1.03054412E9 or 1.03054412 × 109

3450010778 in scientific notation is 3.450010778 x 10^9

It is: 2.65*10^10

2.2 x 10^4 Mg

A scatter plot.

It is 1.43*10^5 in scientific notation

Note that 500 is same as 500.0. Shift 2 decimal places left from the starting point and write out:

5.0 x 10²

33,000 = 3.3 x 104

1.03 × 10-6

or

1.03E-6

It is 6.05

It is: 7.688*10^-2
